But things have changed a lot since he lived and wrote, and I am particularly concerned with the state of modern Psychology. Its persistent refusal to actually study the Psyche has earned it, for me, a lasting place in the dustbin. In my mind, Hubbard went forward where Psychology refused to tread (starting in 1950) and offers today the most workable theory and practice.
But more to the point, Hubbard devised an Ethics and Justice system for use in his organizations that incorporates some of the reforms suggested by Lobaczewski, though perhaps not fully worked out for a nation requiring a "Supreme" court.
In particular he required that a search for the correct psychopath active in any violation - small or large - be part of the process, and that victims of psychopathic abuse be rehabilitated, if possible. He even provided a way for the most insane to return to the group, should the group's judgement prove to be errant in some way.
I would strongly suggest that anyone seriously interested in legal reform study Hubbard's work, whose basics are compiled into a book entitled "Introduction to Scientology Ethics."
Thanks HK. The current & immediate past have shown us all, 2 major societal ills with great clarity.
1. The facade of democracy has crumbled.
2. There isn't an uncorrupted judiciary anywhere on earth.
Lobaczewski was a wise man.
